“I’m becoming more Italian” didn’t bring good results. And experimenting too much sometimes doesn’t pay off. Fonseca went on to change because he was frightened of Atalanta, a good team but defeated 4-0 in Zagreb last week and struggled with Fiorentina last in the standings. Seeing Atalanta fighting on all the balls, winning all the … Roma 0-2 Atalanta “Ghosts of the past”
Victory! Edin Dzeko’s last second brace gives Roma the edge against a good Bologna side. And what a great feeling winning like this! Roma showed good composure and another great goal by Kolarov from free kick. Yet, Bologna’s equaliser from the penalty spot was a harsh punishment and a game changer. The Rossoblù went on … Bologna 1-2 Roma “Justice”
The debut in the Europa League starts well. Victory that immediately puts Roma ahead in the standings along with the Wolfsburger revelation, given that even the Austrians scored four at home in Borussia. Let’s also say that a lucky own goal unlocks a game that was put on a dead end, thanks to a performance … Roma 4-0 Istanbul B. “Turkish delight”
If Pastore netted that easy goal we would only talk about the magic wonders of Fonseca. Sub Zaniolo creates and sub Pastore converts. Unfortunately, Zaniolo did create but Pastore did not convert. Yet Fonseca did some wonders anyway. Cristante quite impressive. Kluivert at last delivering the goods. New debut Veretout has everything to emulate Nainggolan. … Roma 4-2 Sassuolo “Force 4”
Glass half-empty or half-full? It depends. Lazio has undoubtedly created more but then in football to hit the post tor skim a goal counts for nothing. If we were to make a count of missed opportunities every year which ranking would it be? Rome would have a few more championships under its belt, that’s for … Lazio 1-1 Roma “Equal rights”
Let’s start from where we stopped. From that wet farewell of Daniele De Rossi, the hugs with Totti and Ranieri that sanctioned the end of an era. Without our Captains, then we went on to the Year Zero of Petrachi, with the arrival of Fonseca to witness the Edin Dzeko’s summer soap opera. When in … Roma 3-3 Genoa “bad start”
Daniele De Rossi finally said goodbye. The last match in the Roma shirt. An evening under the sign of “Romanismo” of self-regained love, after a disappointing season to say the least, where we barely collect the crumbs of the Europa League preliminaries. A night to remember also for the hugs with Francesco, Bruno with Claudio’s … Roma 2 Parma 1 ” DDR Forever”
An absolute masterpiece. Maybe done on purpose. In front deep in the 90th minute in Genoa, but unable to get the three points. Lots of scoring chances vs. Sassuolo – a match of the equivalent of a Cup Final. Nothing. Another two points dropped. So, four points down the drain. With the same four points … Sassuolo 0 Roma 0 “Lights off”
A bolt from the blue. News that blurs the beautiful victory over Juve, Florenzi’s goal and the argument with Ronaldo. News that comes out when Roma has yet to play for Europe, two games from the end. Daniele De Rossi leaves Roma. Not. They do not renewing his contract as a player. Like Totti a … Roma 2-0 Juventus “Flo and DDR”
Rom-ero sounds like a pun, like Roma, as it was, once upon a time. The Genoa man scored a clumsy goal at the 90th minute, dashing away nearly every hope we had to finish 4th. Romero is a rather short player in comparison to 6ft Fazio, Nzonzi and Schick. Yet, he headed the ball first. … Genoa 1 Roma 1 “Rom-ero”
